Nigeria’s Twitter ban restricts right to freedom of expression-UN
By Modupe Shodeinde
The United Nations (UN) human rights office says the suspension of Twitter’s operations in Nigeria is a restriction of the citizen’s right to freedom of expression.
In a statement on Tuesday via Twitter, the UN expressed concern over the suspension of Twitter
“We are concerned by Nigeria’s #TwitterBan which followed a decision by Twitter to remove a Presidential tweet. Sweeping bans that intentionally prevent or disrupt access to, or dissemination of, information online severely restrict the right to freedom of expression,” it said.
In a joint statement on Saturday, Canada, Republic of Ireland, Norway, the European Union and the US had also kicked against the suspension.
